Fantastic!

Excellent adaptation.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

The 33 year old Griffith was well on his way using close-ups and crosscutting in this film. By this stage he had created the discipline of editing for all subsequent editors (like George Tomasini - North by Northwest) to follow.
